Pom Pom cross body bag-worth it?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 2023-05-20T22:51:36+00:00

I'm looking at the city plus bag in Stone ,I'm drawn to the longer length strap as straps are usually too short for me and the fact it's a little roomier. What's the quality like? Reviews seem ok.

I've had one for about a year now, use it pretty much every day and it has held up well. Tempted to get another colour at some point and I think they've launched a slightly larger one too.

Love mine. Used it in London. Fitted everything I needed including my small suncream and water bottle.

I'm looking at the city plus as I like to be able to carry an umbrella. They look quite big in the tiny models on the photos but actually measured out isn't much bigger than the city which is just standard camera bags size.

Glad it's held up, very tempted. What colour did you get?

Mayfair or City and what colour did you choose? I'm leaning towards slate now rather than stone, decisions decisions...

Mine has only one opening. No front pocket. I had a light pinky colour. Small water bottle, 260ml fitted.

I've got a blue City. Very pleased so far.

I see a lot of fellow "strappees" where I live

I have one in black, well made and lined with a nice finish. The zip and opener metal are as bit like rose gold colour, bright and a little on the big size.

Overall happy enough.

Have to say I would much prefer silver hardware, I hate the gold that's everywhere at the moment.

I have a tan Mayfair and a khaki city. Love them, but they're just a smidge too small. I see they've launched a slightly larger one (but bear in mind it might be that I just cart about too much crap).

I wasn't overly taken when I first got it but have got used to it.

Just btw Monsoon had some very similar, don't know if they're still stocking them though.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor Sorry missed this! I went for Slate Blue - works with most things. I tend to just use it with the blue mix strap rather then the leather one or the other one I chose (which is glittery rainbow colours so not quite so subtle!)

It arrived today and is gorgeous. Really nice quality and the hardware isn't too yellow gold but a bit more rose gold( but would look so much better silver so hope they do that in the future!) Straps are great. Very glad I got the City Plus but I'm going to put a smaller Mayfair on my birthday list and choose a really bright colour 😊

Almost every shop I go into these days seem to have their own version. Oliver Bonas has some, M&S has something very similar.
I bought a red one a year or so to use for gigs but tbh I'm a bit sick of the sight of them now as they're everywhere.
